Putin and Erdogan hold chit-chat on Syria

Turkish officials say President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in which the two leaders discussed ways to “intensify” efforts to end clashes in Syria and deliver humanitarian aid.

Officials in Erdogan’s office say the two leaders on Wednesday also discussed joint energy projects, including the construction of Turkey’s first nuclear power plant.

The officials speak on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.

Putin is scheduled to arrive in Turkey next week to attend an energy meeting.
